About this title

Synopsis

Completely updated to reflect the latest advances in the field, the 6th Edition of this masterwork encompasses all of today's best knowledge about arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases. A "who's who" of world authorities document the explosion of new information and new developments that have occurred in rheumatology. Coverage progresses from normal joint biology and recent discoveries about immune and inflammatory responses...through diagnosis and pharmacology...to the evaluation and management of all of the individual rheumatologic diseases seen in practice.

48 of the 115 chapters have been completely rewritten by totally new authors. Others have been extensively revised to present the most state-of-the-art information.

An entirely new section thoroughly explores Vasculitic Syndromes.

A new section on Special Issues features expanded discussions of alternative treatments and chronic pain management.

The section onReconstructive Surgery now features the authorship of Dr. Clement B. Sledge.

Every illustration has been redrawn by a single, outstanding medical illustrator to provide a comprehensible account of all surgical options.

The imaging chapter by Dr. Barbara Weissman provides an encyclopedic collection of images on joint pathology.
